Have you truly been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?

  © 2024 Elizabeth. All rights reserved. After reading the first book, “Have you truly been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” , among the many sermon books by Pastor Paul C. Jong, a servant of God from The New Life Mission, my soul overflowed with joy like a spring of water.

I excelled in many areas such as repentance prayers, repeated fasting, utilizing the gift of language interpretation, and teaching, and through these efforts and works, I tried to gain recognition from people and God.  However, I came to despise those who were not like me, especially as time passed, and my life of faith became difficult due to the sins that tormented me. Eventually, I fell into the trap of religion and became worse than when I started. In the end, no religious argument could restore me. But then, after reading Pastor Paul C. Jong's first boo...

I was born into a Muslim family. From a young age, I worshiped in the Muslim way. When I was in middle school, I joined a Christian student club, and from that time on, I began to live as a Christian. As I grew as a Christian, I entered a Bible college in late 1995 to serve as a minister. After graduating, I worked as a pastor for over 20 years. At that time, even though I had sin in my heart, I thought I was born again. Whenever I committed sins, I tried to receive forgiveness emotionally through repentance prayers, efforts, and service, and although I had sin in my heart, I believed that because God is...

Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, ‘Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee fr...

Genesis 6:5-8 “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” God says that all the thoughts and all the plans of man are always evil.  But what about man?

Although we want to live according to God's word, we are sinners who are born with fundamental sin from our mother's womb and cannot help but commit different types of sins until death. We are born with sin.  We are weak people who cannot help but sin because our thoughts are always evil, even though we know God's will. However, God the Father has eliminated all our sins through His Son. God the Father planned from the beginning to save us who were born with sin and were destined to go to hell after sinning until death, and to make us God’s people and live together, and to fulfill that plan, He sent H...
